The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Marie slept until noon, had lunch at home, and then went to Maris

Entertainment.

Today was the first day of broadcasting for the TV series The Autumn Tragedy. A while ago, Darwin

and Sasha had successfully wrapped up filming. After a

round of promotion, the show officially aired today.

Upon the broadcast of The Autumn Tragedy, the viewership ratings

continuously changed with the overall trend, and it quickly and unsurprisingly

broke the viewing records.

Darwin and Sasha once again successfully portrayed two roles, bringing the

roles from the book to life.

The TV series had just aired and immediately became a trending topic. Darwin and Sasha’s Twitter

was blowing up with activity.

[Sasha really was the genuine Sierra!]

[What a phenomenal girl!]

[Looking forward to Sierra brutally abusing Cassius! Make them all cry!)

[Sasha really was a representative of the rising young stars who were

beautiful, kind, and had great acting skills!]

Sasha’s Twitter comments were quite normal, full of praise and admiration for Sasha’s appearance and

acting skills.

Darwin’s Twitter comments were rather strange, generally following this pattern.

Fan 1 wrote, [Ahh! Darwin, why were you so handsome?]

Darwin replied, [Born handsome.]

Fan 2 commented, [Sierra doesn’t want you! Be with me instead! I have tons of

Get Borot

personality! I don’t have any deep grudges or hatred towards you!)

Darwin replied, [Let me think about it.]

Fan 3 posted, [Darwin’s acting skills have really improved lately! And it’s all been in collaboration with

Sasha. Could it be that working with Sasha makes. your acting more natural?]

Darwin replied, [My acting skills have always been good.]

Marie was speechless, as Darwin had interacted with fans on Twitter more

than once. He would respond to the top comments from the first few dozen

fans.

Marie didn’t know where he found so much time and energy to browse

Twitter, especially since it was a company matter. Zane and Sasha were busy

every day, barely having time to catch their breath, while Darwin always

seemed to have some leisure time.

Marie once told Darwin to maintain a sense of mystery and not interact with

fans so frequently, as he was a popular idol and shouldn’t follow the jokester

path.

However, Darwin agreed today and replied again tomorrow. He told Marie that

he was too bored and had to reply. So, Marie thought that he might really be

more suitable for the comedian career path…

The broadcast of The Autumn Tragedy not only brought fame to Sasha and

Darwin, solidifying their status as A-list celebrities, but also led to Sabrina finding fame.

She portrayed Tiffany, who, despite causing a lot of trouble for Cassius and Sierra’s relationship in the

beginning, ultimately died for Cassius,

successfully creating an extremely devoted character. Her skilled acting, combined with her sweet

appearance, gained her many fans and led to better

opportunities.

Get Boys

After the successful broadcast of The Autumn Tragedy, Marie gave Darwin and Sasha a two-week

vacation to rest for a while, as they had a movie shoot.

coming up next.

This time, Marie chose a script for Darwin called The Pianist. The story took place during wartime, and

the character’s name was Jansen Ferris. He joined the army due to his family’s decline, but he looked

down on the slumdogs.

from the countryside. Others also disapproved of his arrogance.

He had always been a rascal, just getting by, selfish and self-serving, only caring about his own safety.

During battles, he would always hide in the back, never fitting in with his comrades.

It was not until one operation, when comrade tried to let him retreat first, that he ended up dying right in

front of Jansen due to a slight misstep. He was plagued by nightmares every night and tormented by

guilt, unable to sleep. It was then that he gradually realized how terrifying war was and how fragile his

comrade’s life had been.

When an infiltration operation called “Musical” was launched, someone was needed to pose as a

pianist to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks, steal confidential information, and successfully thwart the

enemy’s plans. They volunteered for

the mission.

After experiencing ridicule, denial, rejection, and countless instances of perseverance, he was chosen

to become an infiltrator. He successfully completed the mission, but his identity was exposed. In order

to buy time, he did not retreat and was ultimately shot and killed during Musical.

Marie chose this script because Jansen’s role was completely opposite to Darwin’s personality or

persona.

Darwin’s persona for the audience and fans had always been that of a popular idol, handsome and

cool. This greatly limited his development potential, causing many screenwriters and directors to feel

that Darwin could only play

the role of a scion or only appear in idol dramas.

The role of Jansen was that of a young soldier, not requiring handsomeness or coolness. What was

needed was determination, strength, and selfless devotion

to a greater cause.

These were very unfamiliar to Darwin, and even more so for Darwin’s fans and

audience.

If Darwin could successfully portray this role, it would be a huge surprise for

both the audience and fans, and it would also be very helpful for his future

career.

Marie finalized the script directly with the producer and practically dragged Darwin to the studio for a

makeup test, asking him to join the production

team.

Darwin, wearing a somewhat worn military uniform, still couldn’t hide the proud and handsome look on

his face. Even after putting on makeup and getting dressed in costume, he still had the appearance of

a popular idol.

Marie felt helpless, as she had known this situation would arise. Now, she

could only take it one step at a time.

Darwin was thrown into the production team, warned not to cause trouble,

and then Marie went to find Sasha.

This time, Marie chose a script for Sasha called The Earthquake. It told the story of Amelie Lansing, a

female university student who was assigned to volunteer in the disaster area for post-earthquake

reconstruction after the Northridge region experienced a major earthquake.

1.

From a young age, Amelie had lived a life of luxury and was very reluctant to participate in this

volunteer activity. She had been going through the motions, but as the local disaster victims repeatedly

expressed their gratitude to her, she gradually saw the beauty of human nature. In the end, she chose

to stay in Northridge for two years as a teacher, getting involved in education work.

Marie chose this script entirely because she wanted to take advantage of

Sasha’s current popularity and participate in a socially meaningful film that could resonate with more

positive energy and make it easier to win awards at

the end of the year.

Sasha needed awards and trophies to increase her value and popularity, which

would be beneficial for her future development.

To put it plainly, films like this nowadays easily won some awards.

Marie had already discussed with the producer beforehand, and today she was

going to bring Sasha to sign the contract.

Luca drove the two of them to the production company. Marie led Sasha to push the door open and

enter. The person in charge of the production was William Lindsey, who was also a somewhat famous

boss.

William was already sitting in the conference room waiting. When he saw Marie come in, he stood up

and shook hands with her, “Ms. Spence, I’ve heard

so much about you.”

Marie laughed, “Mr. Lindsey, you’re so kind.”

William looked at Sasha again and smiled brightly, “Ms. Sasha, I’ve heard so

much about you!”

Sasha nodded with a smile and sat down with Marie.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, William showed no intention of signing the contract. Sasha This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

glanced at Marie, as if to ask, “Will he sign it or not?”

Marie also became a bit anxious. They had agreed on signing the contract, but what did it mean that it

still hadn’t been brought up?

“Mr. Lindsey, our main purpose for coming today is…” Marie was about to bring up the matter of the

contract.

William interrupted her, smiling and said, “Ms. Spence, please be patient, let’s wait for everyone to

arrive before we start.”

Get Bogus

Marie furrowed her brow. Wait for everyone to gather? Maris Entertainment had everyone present

anyway, so who was missing from the production side?

Marie and Sasha sat in their seats, having had two cups of coffee. Fifteen minutes later, the door to the

meeting room opened again, and a gentle voice like that of an oriole came through, “Mr. Lindsey, sorry

to have kept you

waiting!”

Marie frowned and turned around, the person who was almost half an hour

late was Olive!
